In a significant legal development in Senegal, opposition politician Ousmane Sonko has been granted the opportunity to participate in the 2024 presidential elections. A judge has reinstated Sonko's name on the country's electoral lists, effectively allowing him to run as a presidential candidate in the upcoming February 2024 elections.
This decision marks a pivotal moment for Ousmane Sonko, who had been imprisoned. His legal team celebrated this ruling as a victory, stating that their client could once again partake in the presidential race. However, the state has expressed its intention to appeal the judge's decision, emphasising that Sonko's eligibility as a candidate is still a subject of contention.
